[Encore] Beyond Pep Talks: How Parents Can Equip Young Athletes with Mental Tools


Listen Later

Your pep talks come from love. But two real sports parents found out they weren't enough. 👇 https://trainhergame.com/mom

Chris has six kids and still felt like she was failing her youngest. Carlos's daughter looked at him and said, "Dad, please stop. What you're doing is not working." Both of them knew their daughters had the talent. They just couldn't figure out how to actually equip them.

In this episode, you'll hear directly from both of them - unfiltered and real..
âś… What they noticed in their daughters within the first 4 days
âś… How they introduced mental tools to a resistant teen without it turning into a fight
âś… The moment they realized their own behavior was part of the equation
âś… What "no meltdowns all season" actually looks like in real life
âś… Why the 14-day guarantee was the thing that got their athletes to say yes

đź’› If your daughter has the talent but something keeps blocking her from playing her best, this one's for you.

👋🏼 I'm Coach Bre, a mental performance coach for girl athletes, Co-Founder of The Elite Competitor, and a head volleyball coach and 4-time state champion.

P.S. A few things worth knowing as a sports mom: 
⚡️ 70% of youth athletes quit organized sports by age 13, with "it's not fun anymore" as the top reason cited (National Alliance for Youth Sports)
⚡️ Girls are 2x more likely than boys to drop out of sports by age 14, often due to confidence issues and loss of enjoyment (Women's Sports Foundation)
⚡️Athletes who receive mental skills training show a 20-30% improvement in performance consistency compared to physical training alone (Association for Applied Sport Psychology)    

The Raising Elite Competitors channel is hosted by The Elite Competitor and is dedicated to helping sports moms strengthen their daughter's mental game and confidence in order to help her perform her best when it matters most.
